There are a lot of categories and I don't want all of theme. There must be an option to disable unusable categories.

IMO serving categories is up to the instance.

There are a lot of categories and I don't want all of theme.

If there are no good reasons for your request I have not thought of yet, I vote to close this issue.

In general I hesitate to personalize the UI more and more / personalization always goes hand in hand with the loss of privacy and makes the UI and the implementation more complex.

We have a lot of preferences a user can set right now, while I assume only 1% of the user base personalize their preferences.

searx already had this feature, when you deactivate all the engines of a category, this category disappeared, but searxng in some of the updates lost this function.

@aleex5 it isn't really what the opener asks for. What you point out is an issue, to not to mix issues and new features I opened #1020 / thanks for pointing out 👍

[fix] categories can't be removed from UI (categories_as_tabs)
d2f36bc 
When using ``use_default_settings: true``, removing default categories from
settings.yml will not remove them from the UI.

The value ``categories_as_tabs`` is a dictionary type (a4c2cfb) and dictionary
types are merged additive by ``settings_loader.update_settings()``.

This patch replaces the default ``categories_as_tabs`` by the one from the
``user_settings``.
